Story Highlights

The Rochester Red Wings kicked off a nine-game road trip over the next eight days and a five-game set with the Buffalo Bisons with a 5-3 loss on Friday at Coca-Cola Field.

Ryan Pressly walked Jonathan Diaz with the bases loaded, scoring the go-ahead run with two outs in the bottom of the eighth. Pressly retired the first two batters in the inning before two walks and a single started the rally. A.J. Achter relieved Pressly and walked the next batter, bringing home another Buffalo run.

Chris Colabello's hit a two-run home run in the second inning to put the Wings ahead. It's Colabello's second home run in 25 games with the Red Wings this season. He's hitting 20-for-62 (.323) over his last 18 games with 13 RBI.

Kris Johnson cruised along the first six innings but surrendered a three-run home run in the bottom of the seventh to Diaz, the No. 9 hitter, that tied the game 3-3. Johnson got a no-decision with seven hits and three strikeouts over 62/3 innings.

Chris Herrmann drove in the Red Wings' third run on fielder's choice in the third inning.

The Red Wings will play Buffalo in a double-header Saturday with Scott Diamond (3-6, 6.88 ERA) starting in Game 1 and Trevor May (7-4, 2.77 ERA) in the second game.
